Abstract

A deterministic dynamic nonlinear time-delay systems has been recently developed to model load balancing in a cluster of computer nodes used for parallel computations. Further, it was shown that using the proposed load balancing algorithms. the system is stable independent of the feeback gains. However, the performance of the system is dependent on the feedback gains. Experimental results are presented to show that the value of the feeback gain can be chosen to achieve a non sluggish load balancing response that does not cause the tasks to oscillate between nodes.
